President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran was criticized heavily when it was announced, and leading conservatives warned it would do little to deter Iranian aggression toward Americans.
It seems Obama’s critics were right, as the Islamic regime continues to thumb its nose at Obama and the United States.
Iranians started nationwide celebrations Thursday to commemorate the anniversary of the 1979 revolution that brought Islamists to power. That also led to the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Iran, where dozens of American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for more than a year.
And in a move outraging the military community in the United States, Iranian state television aired embarrassing footage of an emotional U.S. sailor brought to tears by aggressive interrogations last month, mocking the U.S. military as weak and asserting Iranian dominance in the region.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p5v_ra81ww&feature=youtu.be
The sailors were kidnapped after two of their boats mistakenly entered Iranian territorial waters; they were released the next day.
Across the country at large public rallies, demonstrators gathered in the thousands and chanted traditional slogans against the U.S. and Israel, and the streets in many cities were decorated with anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli banners and posters.
Iranian leaders also appeared in the rallies and on television. Qassem Soleimani, chief of the Quds Forces of the elite Revolutionary Guard, made a brief appearance.
The leader of the Basij paramilitary force, Mohammad Reza Naqdi, went on television to mock the Obama administration’s foreign policy, saying that “it is impossible to compare Iran today to Iran under the Shah’s rule, since then Iran was subordinate to the American administration, while today, the United States is subordinate to Iran’s dominance in the Middle East and it cannot act in the region without getting the approval of the Supreme Leader of Iran.” reports the Jerusalem Post.
Authorities also displayed an array of weaponry and military hardware, including the Emad long-range ballistic surface-to-surface missile and a version of the Shahed drone which flew over a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf last month.

Papa Baer says
This is all caused by the pathetic idiot in the White House.
I’m pretty old and I cannot think of one past President that would put up with the crap we take from Iran, N. Korea and the rest of the world. For the first time in my 73 years, I’m embarrassed to be an American.

Therese David says
I’m 63 and agree with you 100%. Trump 2016.
carlo says
Obama is the biggest asshole to ever be president. He has done nothing to better this country. What a waste!
Dave says
GO TRUMP!!!!! Like Regan put some back bone back into our country…
Paul says
I second this motion all in favor say I
R U Kidding says
Reagan turned tail and ran when Hezbollah, the Iranian created Shia militia, bombed the Marine barracks in Lebanon killing well over two hundred American soldiers who were in Lebanon on a UN peacekeeping mission! The right thing to do would have been to punish Iran and Hezbollah with a withering massive assault. Reagan talked big but when it came time to show his metal, he walked away from one of the worst humiliations of the US military. Certainly it was worse than the verbal insults emanating from Iran these days. In any case, it was this initial weakness in the face of a major terror attack directed against American military forces that gave Iran the idea that America would never stand up for its principles. To this day, we have an unsettled score with Iranian backed terror. Obama is misguided or a fool for thinking Iran will respond to his peace overtures. they are now laughing all the way to the bank. He is naïve and a fool for relating to the world as he wishes it to be rather than the dangerous and evil place that it actually is. I can’t wait until we get a president that will do what no other President has done to date: hold Iran accountable for what it did to our Marines.
cj-57 says
So how about you join the army right away and volunteer to parachute down on Teheran and teach them the lessons you talk about yourself armed with everything you can get hold of? Whats that I hear from you?
Nick says
Trump is not qualified to be the president of this great country b/c he is dividing the country instead unifying it. Unity brings strength and division brings weakness.
KP says
I bet you voted for Obama twice didn’t you !!
Bill Penrose says
Every election divides people. That is why you have an election to see which candidate is the most wanted by the electorates. In this election I think trump is the one for me and also the one that might be able to save our country. I am 76 and I have never seen as many bad leaders as we have now.
jackel says
No one has divided a nation like this Bozo now !@!
jim w. says
HOW much more will we have to put up with this?
Gerald Mann says
Agreed , these camel jockys seem to think they are really something , I guess its time to knock them back a few notches like we did when they controlled the pirate ships back around the founding of our nation , we kicked them in the teeth then , lets do it again !!
George says
We the people are fed up with the lies and deceit of the greedy politicians who think more of themselves than the people they represent. They are a group of self-righteous individuals who capitalize on every opportunity to benefit themselves. Our voice is being heard loud and clear. Politicians, you will mistreat us no more. We will elect a person who is not a politician and cannot be bought. One who is on a mission to take this country back and restore the greatness that it once had. We will elect a one Donald J. Trump. And so it shall be.
Steven says
I agree 100% Go Trump 2016!!!
jan says
Me too.
KP says
Trump is just what this country needs to be great again & undue the crap our spine less politicians & Obama has done !!
BUZZ says
What this country needs is another Teddy Roosevelt…I think Trump can be our Man
Somebeach says
I am not embarrassed to be an American, BUT I am certainly embarrassed by this jerk that is running this country (into the ground)… I am embarrassed by my fellow citizens that voted for the jerk… I am embarrassed by our elected officials in congress that continue to let the jerk get his way in all cases…I am embarrassed that other people in the jerk’s administration are as bad if not worse than he is in getting way with murder (literally in some cases)… I am embarrassed that there are so many fellow citizens that need and want the ‘nanny’ state… I am embarrassed that our founders had the wisdom to create one of the most perfect governing doctrines in our constitution and our ‘government’ at all levels seem to ignore it… I am embarrassed that what could be and once was the greatest nation on earth and is now being destroyed from within and ‘We the people’ are letting it happen…
Spike says
Well said, I fully agree with you. I would add that I’m also embarrassed with the command personnel that ordered the ship to stand down rather than fight back when the Iranians approached. It was not this sailors decision it was made either by his Captian or further up the command chain. This ship was armed at a minimum with 50 cal. machine guns and should have had missiles on board. Air support would have been available within 30 minutes. This whole episode should have gone down very differently.
jan says
I know people who voted for BO 2x and they are very wealthy. The must feel guilty about. Give it to me, I wouldn’t feel guilty about it. I would try to save our country.
Jan
Sue says
I agree 100%. Real Americans are not scared…we’re passed and not taking it anymore!
Main Street says
In early 1981 Reagan should have sent our Air Force and Navy to give Iran a clear message that their arrogance is not acceptable. I wonder if B-52’s or F-111’s were used in February 1981 against Iran if they’d still be an outlaw nation?
RD says
Did Bush invade the wrong country?
barbara kennedy says
PAPA BAER, I’M ALSO 73, AND I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. THIS PRESIDENT HAS A FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, HE IS A ISLAMIC JIHADIST. TRUMP WAS RIGHT WHEN HE INSISTED ON SEEING HIS BIRTH CERTIFICAT, IT TOOK A FEW WEEKS TO MAKE UP A PHONEY ONE.
Pam Ela says
@barbara………..AND then the women, Loretta Fuddy, who was harassed for the fake birth certificate was “accidentally” killed in a plane crash. I am still amazed she was the ‘only’ person out of a plane full of people who died. (sarcasm). The dead can’t talk.
Ofra Bendavid says
I am with you there!
Frank L. says
Papa Baer, Obummer is a lying muslim! His father and both of his stepfathers were communist muslims and he spent most of his childhood in Kenya and Indonesia being taught in muslim schools where they teach America is the great satan! He first came to our country on a foreign student visa and now uses the social security number of a man who died in Connecticut in the early 1900’s. Remember on his one of his earliest visits to the middle east he said the U.S. wasn’t a Christian nation anymore and if it came down to it he would stand with Islam? He’s not even American but nothing more or less than a communist usurper traitor!
Don says
How about the one who refused to defend our sailors on the USS Liberty when a foreign enemy made an unprovoked attack on our Navy? Many of us (Veterans) have an observance on 08 June every year and are actively working to get that date declared a day of rememberance the same as 07 December. Remember the Americans killed by our enemies.
Sharon says
Those scums in Iran want to laugh at our soldiers, the pigs hide behind children and their women when fired at, it’s the Muslim way. That fool in our white house loves to see our soldiers laughed at, because that is what Obama does everyday, laughs at them, and all Americans. Why that treasonous fool still sits in the white house, is the fault of a back stabbing Congress who only think about themselves.
Dawid ben Haggai says
Amen, brother. The USA today seems to the world like a big piece of $hit. I am sure the USA could abliterate Iran, but its leadership is incapable to do anything “nasty” to the POTUS’s bretheren. Cow manure has more consistency than US policy in the world. It shames not anly the patriotic Americans, but also it’s mant friends abroad, if there are any of them left.
GFrazier says
Mr. Baer: I think I’ve got you beat…I just turned 55 and, for the past seven years, I’ve
been embarrassed to live in the same country, where people fell for racist rhetoric and
elected a know-nothing (Obama), twice, who has done nothing for this country — that is,
in between his golf games.
It also appalls me to have a Jewish friend, who demands Obama loves the Jews, although
she cannot name on single, solitary thing he’s done for them and she demands he never
did was he did, against them (because ABCNews didn’t report it).
Like I said, it didn’t take me as many years to learn disdain for what used to be the Land of the
Free.
RD says
I think we are seeing the rise and fall of North America. Canada now has one of those too.
Sherry says
I’m right there with you, HR. Am 70 and this is the first time I’m ashamed of our country and how she is being led. God help us all !!
DENNIS WOLLEN says
I’m not embarrassed to be AMERICAN…………
I’M EMBARRASSED THAT AMERICA HAS THE MOST STUPID F——ING VOTERS THAT PUT THIS POS WE HAVE AS POTUS IN POWER………..HE IS A TOTAL WASTE OF AIR AND HUMAN(?) FLESH………
I’m absolutely surprised and amazed that someone hasn’t killed his azzz………absolutely AMAZED……..
DENNIS WOLLEN says
TRUMP 2016………..
Our only answer to this POS in our WHITE HOUSE………..TRUMP 2016……….
obama is right up there with the scum bag POS from north korea……..
Dave says
Worse than the jimmy carter days…
Keith says
I didn’t serve 2 tours in Nam to see our leadership weak, out of touch and incompetent as this administration It almost looks like they are sabotaging our country’s strength and independence.
Helen Spingola says
i’ve been embarrassed since the day Bat=Head took office. GOD save America!
rick says
Not only obama, but everyone in congress, that lets him get away with all the things he does. Why? Donald Trump knows. God will take revenge on this country if people keep going like they are, and i don’t think that it is far off either. All the government officials know what is wrong, but not one will stand up for the right things anymore. Think people, think. This country will not last much longer if we don’t change this form of government. I do think Donald Trump is sincere in what he is doing.
Terry says
Evidently you have forgotten Jimmy “no guts” Carter that did nothing about the hostage situation.
Lucille says
Donald Trump being our President would have gone after those bastards….Obama is a weakling and a disgrace to the American people…..Vote Trump and we would never be in this situation like this ever again……

Martha says
I agree with you completely!
stella says
I hear a u-tuber states that this is another false-flag. Why would the Americans soldiers give up so easily with all the ammunition and guns on those warships, with just two Iran soldiers doing the capturing. Are they really American soldiers? if so they are being trained very poorly and weak like the president we have in White House. That shows we are really in trouble for our safety. Why and we have not hear any of them speak out or what ever happen as to why they surrender?
Somebeach says
I expect the ‘rules of engagement’ would not allow them to protect themselves. It is a similar mindset as to what is happening to the erosion of our second amendment rights.
barbara kennedy says
AMEN, TO YOU LUCILLE. PUT HITLERY & OBAMA IN JAIL.

Vote the politicians out and vote Trump in. The problem is Crappy political attorneys have taken over. They have no back bone. Vote Trump

Horrible. We need someone in the White House that has guts and won’t trade our honor for marbles! There’s nothing worse than what’s happening now. You can’t buy honor or respect, it has to be proven!
jackel says
Sadly the voter in majority is a woos and thrives on that Political;y Correct crap.
Nathalie says
this is incredible! as if it’s a shame for a man to have tears. he was probably thinking about his family’s worries etc.
Somebeach says
This is not against this man at all. It is about the fact that our country is so weak that instead of respect we have become the sniveling weakling, once super power… now laughing stock of the world. Mr. Obama… maybe you should go out and apologize some more for our existence ! This all makes me ill…
Spike says
He was probably in tears and grieving the USA’s loss of honor. It was on those in the command structure that ordered them to stand down. This is what happens when you think the military is for social engineering and you run the Warriors out as Obama has done.
wilbert jennings says
Why show this it only encourages the evil terrorist that are the muslims. All are followers of allah and will do whatever they please because their made up god will allow it. Read the quran it was presented by mohammed as a gift from an arch angel. The only thing in writing presented to Christians was the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament. God came to Earth and lived as a human for 33 years and then 300 years later muslims all of a sudden have a different god and prophet. Mohammed saw an opportunity to be revered as Jesus and made up the whole scam.

Dennis Wall says
Iran is NOT poking Obama in the eye! Obama is loving every moment of this humiliation of American Military. What do you people not understand about Obama being totally sold out to Iran & the Islamic movement. He supports it with taxpayer money every chance he gets. He supports it by restricting all efforts to engage war against it. He doesn’t acknowledge that it is evil & destructive to the entire World! Do you really not get this?
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Many don’t it get it because the local news is owned by the left.
Even Fox News is now co-owned by the Saudi princes.
And Journalists get grants from segments such as the Anneberg Challenge which Osama Obama actually used to chair on himself.
Then we have the House of Corruption controlling our schools.
Check out this article of Huessin Obama changing our Pledge of Allegiance to be more muslim friendly.

I almost fainted when my neighbor across the street actually told me she thinks one of the four safest countries is ‘Germany’.
You know Rapefugee Germany. She is older and doesn’t go on the computer much and does not read alternative news like this. She is like the last person on the street who still gets the local newspaper delivered to the house and they are about as left as it gets. Also our teachers teach from these leftist newspapers in our schools.
Hopefully people like Donald Trump will continue to stand up to the corrupt news channels who are bought and paid for and the lies will stop and the truth will come out. I loved when Mr. Trump stopped in the middle of the last debate to tell the television viewers that the audience was made up of donors only.
barbara kennedy says
PAM ELLA, TRUMP SAYS IT THE WAY IT IS, HE DON’T HOLD BACK ANY PUNCHES. I LOVE THAT GUY. OBAMA IS GOING TO SEE THAT HE’S BUMPED OFF, BECAUSE HE’S A THRET TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. DONALD TRUMP 2016 GOD BLESS AMERICA AMEN.
tom says
You know I’ve heard time and time again that Obama was supposed to be kicked out of office and he is still in there spending more money than all the former presidents put together, made up more bullsh– laws then any other president .And then was voted for a second term to more damage,what the hell is wrong with us,can’t we do anything against the goverment that is supposed to be working for us.Come on people wake up !!!!!!!!.
Pam Ela says
This really gets my blood boiling. And this is just one of many incidents. Check out the link below:
https://youtu.be/Imy6bY-mt4s
This was a soccer game in Turkey after the Paris incident and was supposed to be a moment of silence.
If you do not want to click on the link. Go to You Tube and search.
And the worst of it is we have a muslim president and a presidential candidate Hillary with her top aide Huma Abedin who want our borders left wide open for these monsters to flood the USA while they continue to attack our 2nd amendment and try to leave us defenseless.
And they call Mexico corrupt.
Phyllis says
What did they hope to gain with that video its though our tears we become strong. They are animals they show things like this to prove we are weak but it is that man in the office who is weak I don’t want to call him president because he is not one at all. I’m ashamed to have him as our president of America.
drbhelthi says
– mistakenly – Right !
It was certainly a mistake, a big mistake, and should not have been inititiated.
theresa says
Oh yeah. Better have the sailor still in custody. If I was his mama, that’s what I’d want rather than see people I will never know watch my kid cry. You people must be out of your minds!
Jabere says
It makes me sick to my stomach, so they tortured him because he is a middle Eastern American marine?

Ms Wimpy in the what used to be the WHITE house is just a snivling coward! The kids have more balls than that sad sack SOB. Of course they are transvestites!

“it is impossible to compare Iran today to Iran under the Shah’s rule, since then Iran was subordinate to the American administration, while today, the United States is subordinate to Iran’s dominance in the Middle East and it cannot act in the region without getting the approval of the Supreme Leader of Iran.” reports the Jerusalem Post.
We would be sensible to ask who is guilty of the greater mockery, Iran or Israel? The former now, and the latter for much longer; yet there appears to be an acceptance of mockery from one and not from the other, why should that be?
Gary says
terence
It was the the leader of the Basij paramilitary force doing the mocking not The Jerusalem news. “The leader of the Basij paramilitary force, Mohammad Reza Naqdi, went on television to mock the Obama administration’s foreign policy, saying that “it is impossible to compare Iran…”
Justin W says
This is another victory for President Obama. He has dedicated his time as president to weakening America and undermining the Constitution. He made a bad deal with Iran. This man’s incompetence and anti-American views will continue to create problems for the nation long after he retires to a lavish taxpayer-provided retirement and a lucrative career on the lecture circuit.
It’s sad when our president works to destroy our nation.
john j says
i am more ashamed of that weak sailor who was shown crying than what this reporter is saying Iran should be ashamed of doing. this weak sissy needs to get out of the navy as soon as possible.in 26 years of service and fighting in two wars i have never seen that happen. thank God i am now retired.
Spike says
If you were a veteran you would know that the command to stand down or fight was not this sailors decision. It was the command structure. He has nothing to be ashamed of. Again, if you were in our military for 26 years you would know this.
bozzbuck says
It depends on why he was crying. Was he crying in frustration of being helpless, was it shame for having surrendered, then he needed to turn that into hate. If he was crying out of fear for his life or physical abuse – give him a general discharge he does not belong in the service.
Spike says
I fought in Vietnam and I can assure you I heard a lot of very brave warriors in tears. Crying or being afraid is nothing to be ashamed of, you just have to put that aside when the time comes and be the soldier you trained to be. Anyone who sits back and criticizes or doubts this sailor has never been in combat.
RD says
Was he crying because they were beating and stoning women and children in the streets? That is allowed under Sharia law. Or did they put pepper spray in his eyes and then photograph for publicity’s sake. The jury is still out on this one.
Don says
I wonder how many tears our sailors on the USS pueblo shed during their 11 months in captivity, courtesy of the same politicians who refused to go to the aid of other sailors who were being murdered on the USS Liberty?
Dawid ben Haggai says
American policy in the Near East has as much consistency as cow dung. This POTUS is a Muslim and he would never do anything to harm his Muslim bretheren. Let us make sure that neither he, nor anyone like him will ever be elected president again.
Rob says
I am 64. When I was in the military during Vietnam, we were trained to be tough. Name, rank, serial number.
However, in a situation like that, depending on rules of engagement, that grabbing of our boats was an act of war and those guns on those boats would have been used until emptied!
What are they teaching our military in basic? Raise the white flag?
My God, this type of behavior would not have been acceptable by our military when I was in!
In basic, we would run for miles with full gear. If someone fell, the drill Sgt would hit the person that Dell with the butt of an m 14 rifle in the head until he got up!
I can’t imagine sitting in front of charley NVA (North Vietnamese Army) crying!
I don’t know if our military needs to man up or they just were not properly trained as to how to react in these situations!
John MCain and other pows would not have lived if they would have cried on their first encounter with the enemy.
I never heard of such reactions when the marines were taken hostage for 400 days in IRAN.
There are many questions here. How far up the chain of command does this passive approach go?
Are we going to have to pardon convicted murders and put them in our military?
We are a laughing stock!
All I can say is that I am so glad Obama is not my commander and chief!
Spike says
I served in Vietnam 1964-1966 and during that time I heard many soldiers crying. There is no shame in emotions. If you were a Marine you would know that the command to stand down or fire is not made by the soldier. Under our rules of engagement it is made further up the command structure. Don’t disrespect our warriors. I have fought and died with them and they are all my brothers including this sailor.
PAUL says
THE SORRY ASSHOLES IN CONGRESS NEED TO BE FLOGGED FOR LETTING THAT SORRY POS IN WHITE HOUSE DO WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR SO LONG. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED BACK IN 2009. NOW HE NEEDS TO GO SEE BIN LADEN. SELL HIM SOME OBAMACARE. SEMPER FI
Paul says
Obama , Hillery, Reed all need to tried for treason.
Paul Branch says
First off lets start calling it what it is this situation was all set up by Obama their boat’s never did mistakenly ran into Iranian waters it was a way for the Iranians was supposed to rescue the boats and sailors treat them to a nice night out in iran and get picked up by the U.S Government but things didn’t go to plan.
jo says
Be careful on what propergander Iran is putting out here with these pic’s, remember…..obama is on their side and he does not love america. While they are putting the light on one thing, they are doing something else behind the scene…..just be aware!
KenAtArriba says
Trump called Cruz a pussy but the ultimate pussy is in the Pretender in the White House.
Robin says
Can you imagine how our soldiers felt being held in custody by the Iranians, knowing they don’t have the support of our pos president, and he had just made an unholy deal with Iran? I guess they were afraid they would never make it back to their loved ones,
back in the good ole US of A. I can’t fathom how it would feel to be in the military in a situation like that, knowing your commander in chief doesn’t have your back.
Joe Sanchez says
Apparently the fraud and phony still thinks all he has to do is show up, and people will just melt like butter in his hands, well one thing for sure people won’t melt like butter, if anything people know he full of his own fraud Stink that people can’t stand, unless their on the corrupt side of the Son of a Bitch. He (Barry hussein barak obuma) is the worlds biggest phony, and in America he is the laughing stock of the entire Country.
We are in the most precarious position that our Country has ever been in, and the threat of Communism is in the hands of Bernie and Killary both Democrats, who have sworn to continue what the muslim fraud and phony obuma started.
